When it comes to advertising, i don't banning it to a certain age would help because another age group would be manipulated, and banning it all together i don't think is really possible because everybody advertises in their own different way, like they might not even work there but people tell each other the awesome store that sell all the best things for cheap, or that tattoo parlor with the coolest tattoo artist and how its not that expensive, and even though its not an ad, people still are finding out what's cool, more slowly since its not being shown to them immediately but they'll still find out. People will just follow what they see around them, or on TV like MTV and how the video said that it's practically just commercials since all the artists that go there are advertising their music, so banning probably wouldn't really have much of an effect and if you ban advertising you'd practically have to put everybody in jail.
"Girls are taught to flaunt their sexuality even though they don't understand it yet"
Teenagers usually go along with that trend because they hear all the people around them saying "oh thats sexy" "thats hot", and they want that type of acknowledgment as well, we all seek attention. I believe both the people who advertise and the people who choose to follow this trend are to blame, because the people who advertise it are influencing kids to be more sluty, which can lead to STD's and teen pregnancy. Also the people who dress that way and act sluty are also to blame, because they let themselves be talk into this madness, to wear really short skirts and show as much cleavage as allowed, and seem like they don't have any respect for themselves. I know it might never really go away since its so "hot" but hopefully people will start thinking and dress a bit less revealing, and learn to not always do what they see others do.
